Lumber Conrpanies land Swap

Fibreboard Corp., Concord, Ca., plans to sell about 27,500 acres of timberland to Sierra Pacific Industries Corp., Redding, Ca., in addition to trading about 10,000 acres for timberland closer to its operation in Standard, Ca.

Fibreboard also intends to grant cutting rights to Sierra Pacific in most of its remaining Truckee timberland.

Counterfeiters Jailed

(Cotrtinuetl .[ront page l7 ) the unauthorized possession and use of TP gradestamps, as well as the creation and use of counterfeit TP gradestamps. A written corporate admission and stamp creation records were obtained on May 14, 1986. Subsequently, TP cancelled its AWPB Quality Marking Contract with Escue Wood Preserving Co.

TP made a concerted effort to locate and correct substandard lumber in four states, alerted the FBI to the violation of the Federal Trademark Act, and participated in an FBI search and seizure at the EWP facility in Millwood, Ky.

"The counterfeit stamps were used at least from 1985 to 1986," Sibert said. Lumber found bearing the counterfeit marks was significantly below grade. It is estimated that between 500,000 and 3,000,000 board feet of lumber was fraudulently gradestamped. "The majority of the illegally stamped material appeared to have been sold to an innocent purchaser, and was discovered in locations in lllinois, Indiana and Kentucky," Sibert added.

Sibert praised Scott Cox, the Assistant United States Attorney in Louisville, and Gary Perkins, of the FBI. for their dedicated efforts to bring this case to justice. "TP has successfully used the 1984 Trademark Act numerous times since 1986, primarily in the Southeast, but also in the Southwest regions of the USA," said Sibert.

He added "TP's aggressive pursuit of any trademark infringement, and our successful prosecutional track record, coupled with the criminal aspect of the fraudulent acts and the potential for treble damages, should be strong deterrents to those who contemplate the unauthorized use of either the Timber Products Inspection (TP) trademark or any American Lumber Standards Committee agency logo."

Alaskan Oil Spill's Side Benefit

In addition to its effect on the environment, wildlife and fisheries, the Alaskan oil spill also disrupted the local construction industry, creating an unprecedented demand for wood products.

Many retailers and wholesalers worked 16 hour days to meet the need for lumber, structural panels and other building products used during the clean up to construct ramps, bins, shacks and oil booms, notes the American Plywood Association.

While injecting a sudden $500 million into the slowly rebounding local economy, the sudden demand created supply problems for builders and remodelers dependent on a steady source of wood products.

Window Gertification Label

The American Architectural Manufacturers Association has revised its certification program for new construction and replacement windows.

Special periodic quality control testing and a gold and black certification label applied to all certif ied products are the key changes. John Gurniak, AAMA technical director, says, "Now, with these revisions to the program, the AAMA label is more than ever a visible positive assurance of performance quality."
